Chapter 1991 Although Mark wasn't strong, he had a low body fat.

As such, his abdominal muscles were quite prominent.

Whenever Olivia's sole itched, she would rub her foot against his belly.

Mark looked at his daughter and studied her face.

Although the two of them looked alike, her eyes were unmistakably Cecilia's.

With a smile, Mark couldn't help but lean over and kiss Olivia's face.

As Cecilia came out of the bathroom after freshening up, the first thing she saw was Mark and Olivia sharing an intimate moment together.

With a smile, Cecilia approached them to pick Olivia up.

“Let her sleep a little longer,” Mark said, not wanting his daughter to leave his arms.

Despite his request, Cecilia picked up Olivia and began singing her a lullaby. After a while, she said, “The nurse will come to give you an IV drip later. Mark, don't spoil the child too much.” Mark smiled.

After a while, he replied, “I can also be a strict father, you know.

If you spoil them, then I will be more strict with them.” Cecilia rolled her eyes and ignored what he was saying.

After soothing her daughter, she went to fetch the milk powder.

While Cecilia was waiting for the milk to cool, she brushed Olivia's baby teeth until they sparkled.

Shortly after that, a nurse arrived to put on an intravenous drip on Mark.

Once she was done, she couldn't help but see Olivia up close.

She played with Olivia for a while and then said in hushed tones, “They said that this little girl is the cutest one in the world! ALL the nurses in the in-patient department want to come and see her.

But since this is a VIP ward, they can't come in. They couldn't even sneak in because of Mr. Evans’ bodyguards.” As she spoke, Cecilia didn't like her tone.

When the nurse left, Cecilia said to Mark, “Maybe we should take Olivia out less.” Mark narrowed his eyes at her.

“Are you afraid that everyone's going to Like her?”

Chapter 1992 Cecilia scratched her head and looked away. Then, after a while, she said softly, “I was just like this when I was a child. Everyone liked me, and so I was raised to be... that way." Mark flashed a gentle smile and placed his hand atop hers.

“You're fine the way you are,” he told her.

“I like you very much.” Her words made Cecilia blush, rendering her speechless.

Her entire life, she had only been in two relationships: one with Harold, and the other with Mark.

Harold had explicitly told her that he didn't Like her.

The only reason he was with her was because of the Fowler family’s connections and resources.

Mark on the other hand... What did he like about her exactly? As Cecilia pondered this thought, Mark quietly watched her.

“Cecilia, don't underestimate yourself. You're good-no, you're much better than you give yourself credit. I've seen a lot of people within the power circle, but none of them are as simple and lovely as you.

On top of that, you are also kind and generous.” Perhaps it was this rare quality that had compelled him to like her.

As Cecilia listened to his words, she couldn't help but feel moved.

Of course, she didn't want to show it. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

“You're sick, and yet, you're still quite glib.” Mark grinned.

He looked particularly handsome whenever he smiled.

As they stared into each other's eyes, the atmosphere around them began to feel romantic.

With flushed cheeks, Cecilia lowered her head and fed the baby.

Mark was an emotionally intelligent man. He could easily tell that this woman really liked him. As he quietly observed her, something inside him began to stir.

Just then, Cecilia's phone rang.

It was from Simon's assistant.

Cecilia had owed Simon a debt of gratitude for all the things he had done for her early on in her career. This time, however, for some reason, he was mad at her.

Simon's assistant was quite familiar with Cecilia so she called to tip her off.

Chapter 1993 “I don’t know what's wrong with Mr. Lewis this time,” she informed her.

“Not only does he want you replaced, but he also wants to sue you for liquidated damages!” After a short pause, she continued, “And about the next TV play, Mr. Evans has invested 80 million dollars in it for your sake. But now, he wants to have you replaced from that show as well.” As she listened to the assistant, Cecilia felt a lump in her throat.

She didn’t want to alert Mark that something was amiss, so she whispered to the receiver, “Okay.” After that, she quickly hung up the phone.

Mark frowned as he asked, “Trouble with work?” “No,” Cecilia denied.

To distract herself, Cecilia continued to feed Olivia. Thankfully, Olivia wasn't mad that she hadn't been able to drink milk while her mother was on the phone and patiently waited in her mother’s arms.

Finally, Cecilia put the teat of the bottle on Olivia's lips.

In response, Olivia opened her mouth and sucked it thirstily.

Since Mark was on an IV, it was hard for him to move around. He pushed himself up and sat up, his back leaning against the head of the bed.
